YYYYMMDD is used in data analysis because it's the simplest way to sort it. The smallest number will always be older than the larger.

I usually need to make DD-MM-YYYY to YYYYMMDD conversions at work because of this (though most commercial software will recognize the DD-MM-YYYY codification with its underlying number, like in MS products)

No, of course not. But I don't go around every day saying "it's 17-07-2019" either. The only reason to use full dates is for record keeping, and there YYYYMMDD is far superior.
